Why isn't kys automatically censored?
We all know this an acronym telling people to kill themselves (I've NEVER seen this used in a kind way). I don't understand why it isn't automatically censored like some of the other derogatory terms people use.

kys= kiss your sister
I'd personally just like to see rito add a "filter" feature to the chat thing where you can ban out your own phrases and such (with a potential "uncensored" option if you're someone like me who actively enjoys playing with their food). Then the playerbase can tune the chat to what they do/don't want to hear.
They should autochange such phrases into something like "i am stupid and need to wash my mouth with soap".
One game actually did that, i just cant remember wich one.
kys
kite yasou smartly
Kick your son=k y s
(HehexD I joke)
This is actually a good idea
keep yourself safe ;)
A while ago riot said they had a internal debate on if they should censor everything that comes up as derogatory. They came to the conclusion of no, because everytime they would censor something , the community would find a way to express that word and then the cycle would continue. Example: Censor %%% Community: ky$
It would be a never ending cycle.
keep yourself safe
just yesterday i had a kled who fed lane and afkd under turret the whole game while we tried to scrounge the game together into a victory (we lost) and when i asked what his attitude problem was he simply said "%%%". After in the post lobby I politely told him not to say that because he might get to someone sensitive or a young person and he then, in response, said "%%%". I wouldn't mind it being censored. some weirder phrases are censored.
lol idk if this was just fixed but when i typed that in my post it censored it. funny.is it like that in game now too?
i made this arguement to people proving them wrong and they "tried" to argue then gave up becuase i was right.... say riot banned you for typing those 3 letters , and say you were made and decided to sue riot over your ban because of a bs reason...... its 3 letters that can mean many things so good luck trying to win that case there riot....no where does it say that you cannot type those 3 letters anywhere lol
Thought I'd let op know, That apparently even though the acronym "%%%" isn't censored, It IS flagged by riots reporting system as a 2 week ban-able offense.
Well why was the word Mordekaiser censored in the mastery/rune page lol
It is.
There is a chat filter, except virtually everyone turns it off.
Why should "Keep Yourself Safe" be censored?
I got banned yesterday for saying (%%%) in the beginning of a game because my friend was playing the super catchy lux song in discord and we had a lux on our team. I didn't get chat restricted before that
You can always pull the thing blizzard pulled with "gg ez" in overwatch, but really, it won't matter in the end.
In terms of the chat filter, I don't know how easy it is to update it, but I do know for a fact that it won't stop people from saying it anyway, for example, typing it one line at a time, like so:
k y s
or they could always go a step further and just type out the entire phrase. A chat filter won't stop toxicity, it only slows it down.

k y s = keep yourself safe.
But in all seriousness, I just think there wouldn't be much of a point to it a long with censoring "wtf", as usual, people would just bypass it. +if it's censored you still know what the intent was anyway. But I liked the idea someone posted here to have your own personal censor list.
Edit: wow the boards censored it to %%% xD
how am i gonna tell my kayns your super then
